Everton - Bolton Wanderers

Considering recent form (especially at home), Everton are one of the top teams in Premier. When their injury crisis started to decrease, team’s shape improved and I fancy them to have a strong finish of the season. At home they’re unbeaten in eight league matches, winning the last six, including top sides like Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd. At last round, Everton lost 2-0 lead on the road vs. Brum, but display they showed was more than decent. David Moyes has no fresh injury concerns, but has to make at least one change following the expiry of Landon Donovan's loan. Everton have won their last three home league matches against Bolton without conceding a goal (scored six).

 

Since he became a manager, Owen Coyle made an excellent progress in the club and Bolton aren’t in the dangerous zone any more. Margin is eight points and Trotters probably will play last eight games without too much pressure. They’re in a decent shape, won three of last four games, but all three wins came against bottom sides (Wolves, West Ham and Wigan) and a defeat was vs. Sunderland 0-4. However, they’re poor travelers (trend that Coyle had in Burnley as well) with just one win (West Ham 2-1), one draw (Wigan 0-0) and five defeats under Coyle. Four goals scored and 16 conceded. Big boost could be a possible comeback of key defender Gary Cahill after six weeks. Another defender, Sam Ricketts is available after serving a one-match ban, while midfielder Mark Davies has recovered from injury.

 

Everton are in uptrend, they overcame the injury crisis, possess quality for top six in my opinion and they especially have big inspiration when play at Goodison. Bolton don’t have anything to lose in this encounter, but I think the difference in quality is too big and don’t expect anything less than a win with few goals margin. My bets are -1 ah (1.85 at Pinnacle) and Over 2.5 (1.83 at 888sports).

Bolton - Fulham

Bolton hold 16th place with the same number of points as first under the line Hull City. New manager, Owen Coyle, has improved their performance and team morale. After two expected defeats vs. Arsenal (with decent displays), The Trotters noticed two home wins Sheff.Utd. 2-0 (Cup) and Burnley 1-0 (six points game). In last round lost at Enfild 2-0 (which was expected), but were unlucky to score. Their passing game has been improved, they create more chances, while defense line looks more solid. Ivan Klasnic is sidelined with an ankle injury and his place will take forgotten Johan Elmander, while midfielder Stuart Holden remains doubtful with a thigh problem. Coyle can involve new signings, Vladimir Weiss and Jack Wilshere.

Fulham sit at 10th place and even now is obvious they won’t fulfill their pre-season expectations and repeat success from last season (spot for Europe). While their home record is more than decent, they all season are struggling on the road. Just one away win in 12 games (with four draws), they have four consecutive away defeats and on all of them conceded at least two times! To make the things worse, took care big injury crisis for which Hodgson said it’s the biggest that he has ever faced with. Well probably not, but the fact is he can not count on plenty of key players. Both full-backs Konchesky and Pantsil are out, as well as two key midfielders Dempsey and Gera. Strikers Johnson (end of the season for him) and Davies (there’re some chances for him to appear) are also out, while club loaned another striker Kamara to Celtic!

With Coyle as a manager, Bolton look much more serious and it seems they’re becoming a typical home side (as Coyle did with Burnley). Fulham’s long ball play should be easily predicted and think prevented by Coyle and good set-pieces covering would make Fulham harmless. Home win.

Portsmouth - Bolton



Pompey holds 14th place in Premier with four points above the relegation line, but with a game less than the opponents. In the last round they missed the opportunity to run into safe zone. Against WBA at home scored twice, but thankfully to some disaster mistakes by defence line, conceded same time for a draw at the end. The whole squad plays very well in 4-4-1-1 formation with Nico Kranjcar behind Peter Crouch. They don't feel pressure, but bad result today would put them in unenviable position. I expect attacks in the waves from the start, if their defence improve performance three points are not even in doubt. No injury problems (or suspended players) for Paul Hart, same eleven as against WBA.

Trotters hold safe 12th place, play very well and relaxed at the same time. In the last round, Chelsea underestimated them, Wanderers used that scoring three times in last 20 minutes (had a chance for 4-4) and almost made a first-class surprise and bury Chelsea's title hope. Before that, with a win against Middlesbrough (4-1 at home) they secured the Premier League place and won't have too much motivation in the rest of season. Gary Megson has some injury worries, as Danny Shittu got injured on Stamford Bridge (will be substituted by Andy O’Brien), while Joey O’Brien and Mark Davies continue their rehabilitation.

Portsmouth has an opportunity to learn from Chelsea's mistakes. Complete squad, full motivation and no pressure give me just one logic conclusion. The best odd offers Pinnacle-2.13. I have no doubt. Home win.

Will be more suggestions later, stay tuned.
